Advance Copies and First Reviews

Posted

Thank you all for your sweet notes of understanding over my going AWOL and all.
It is so nice to see your familiar names and hear your familiar voices…

So, I promised you a thing or two.
Let’s start with this.

My next book is OUT IN THE WORLD.
This is freaky scary crazy.
Of course.

Y’know how when you have a baby and you first put her in her carseat and head out for a drive you consider calling for a police escort and putting signs up in every window of of the car saying, "Please, would you maniacs slow down and take care because this situation is very, very fragile"???

Well, it’s like that.

Luckily, there are some very good, kind folks receiving this particular package so I’m not feeling too battered.

 

Here’s a post that’s particularly touching, from Shelly B. at Write for a Reader.

(Particularly touching in that my friends at Simon & Schuster and Beach Lane Books went so all-the-way-out to share this book with people, and touching in how much Shelly B. appreciated it…)

And then, here is an early review from Richie Partington at Richie’s Picks (and yes, I now officially love Richie…)

That’s all for today… I’m off to count my blessings…

    Yaaaay!
    I love the sound of this book, and can’t wait for it to be in stores!

    May I just add that this book is even more gorgeous than the packaging? The words and illustrations together create a true gem. It would make a touching gift for anyone–especially a baby shower gift. Can’t wait until this one hits the shelves, Liz!

    SO thrilled for you!

    I just ordered all 4 of my kids their advanced copies of the All the World, and Amazon said they were due to arrive this fall. We can’t wait! Glad there’s so much to do here in NorCal to keep us distracted in the interim… 😉
    Congratulations and big hugs,
